So who says Canadians aren't romantic!!
Check this out folks. Driving around this morning love is definitely in the air. Hot pink and dark pink tops on girls, red necklaces, hearts all around. Every gal is dressed up for Valentine's Day - meself included - Hot Red Moma today!!
First thing this morning we turned on the t.v. in our bedroom - I know I know - there should not be a t.v. in the boudoir - but there you go. We looked at belly dancers strutting their stuff - I so want to learn belly dancing, even if just for the clothes! Next our eye witness on the streets of Victoria checks out all the lingerie stores in town and what they are offering - PLEASE! naughty knickers for boys - black lace and slinkey - if I saw him coming out with that on I think I'd be keeping a very close eye on my underwear for any missing pieces - Seriously what man is going to wear a black slinky number like that. They had quite a few of them in the shop...so maybe they know...they know!! The girls stuff was the usual black, red and pink pieces of fluff and froth. I just don't get it with the thongs...I could tell the male reporter was getting a bit hot around the collar.
Got into the office and I was pleasantly surprised with a scented feather rose from a patient - looked real but was made up of feathers - absolutely gorgeous! I was just thanking her and saying why on earth would anybody buy a real rose now especially since the ones in the shops don't have any scent from them...this one looks the real thing, smells the real thing...and will last a lot longer than the real thing. The feather was symbolic of the Holy Spirit and at Xmas she gave us two starbucks mugs with red doves on them. The inside of the mugs were also red. I told her the significance of the dove and the red made me think of the Holy Spirit. She loved the symbolism and since then it has been doves and now the feather rose. The rose of course being symbolic of Our Lady...So lovely.
In addition being asked to oversee the confirmation class has further activated the Holy Spirit theme which seems to be following me this year. The synchronicity of life!! I so enjoyed the session last Wednesday with the kids. Love love love them and am so grateful for this experience. It was meant to be.
Hope you all have a truly special weekend - bring out the red xmas cloth and decorate the room. Since Claudia is having some friends come around this evening, I did a quick makeover before I left for the office - Check it out girls! got red xmas cloth, draped pink one over it in the shape of a diamond. Later got out my two valentine trees (purchased in winners bargain bin some years ago for $5 each). Brought out the red candles from xmas. Got my box of rose petals from the Holy Communion parties of years ago - spread the rose petals all around the table. Voila - Magnifico! Got my cherub angel with heart and draped her off the chandelier along with some rose napkin rings - also from the xmas drawer. So much fun and that is going to be my table this whole weekend. Plan to cook Paella for Sat evening. Kevin is bringing me to the Irish Times earlier in the day for a romantic lunch and that is about the size of it.
From my heart to yours I send abundant love...hugs...and kisses. I would love to hear how you celebrated the love this weekend - minus the steamy bits of course - which I shall leave to my imagination!!
May the force be with y'all this weekend of love...

trish, sorry to burst the valentine vibe...just seen slumdog millionaire....you just have to see it....omg...the children.....begging to be adopted...it really tugs @ every heartstring. i think u'll find it v.v. distressing, have to say i found it much more disturbing than uplifting as everybody who has seen it said it was a great feel good movie...my a..e! those big brown eyes would give your lads a run for their money! will fill u in on valentine details after event.has started interestingly for fri 13th. home alone just jim and i and the late late show. asked jim to get a video and nice gaff to start the w/e off to a great start. thought we might enjoy burn after reading, tho' el said it was disappointing, he comes back with the gaff and boy in striped pj's. now concentration camp and gaff are incompatible in my book anyway. so watched slumdog instead... from the frying pan into the fire...needless to say gaff still unopened. off to make my card now. do you do all that heart stuff for whole family or for k and u?
